It started with the spread of people around the world and rats
being aboard ships that carried food. They would eat the food and
then leave feces in it which contaminated it with bacteria that
carried the plague. Rats are a reservoir for the plague. It then
became able to be transmitted from person to person turning it into
a epidemic across europe

The Black Death (AKA The Bubonic Plague, The plague) didn't
really "start" or "end" on specific dates. There are some rare
cases of The Bubonic plague today.
The peak of the Black Death was around 1347- 1352

the bubonic plague is just a type of plague which the black
death was categorised as, but scientists/historians believe that
the black death occurred around spring 1348 and started in
central Asia/china.

The black plague started in 1348 and was caused by flees carried
by rats and spread through out Europe, the black plague killed
30-60% of the population. The disease could be caught just by
breathing the air around the infected people.
